My name is Brooke Mary Gardner and I was born and raised on Long Island, New York. I attended Friends Academy in Locust Valley and graduated from Pace University in 2019, majoring in Acting for Film, Television, Voiceovers and Commercials. I live in Brooklyn with my two best friends and my beloved cat named Chaos. I often forget I’m not living an episode of Broad City. I’m a fan of horror, dark comedy, and anything created by Sean Baker. Some of my biggest influences in film are Wong Kar-Wai, Lynne Ramsay, Barry Jenkins, Jordan Peele, Stanley Kubrick, Larry Clark, Harmony Korine and Jean Luc Godard. When I’m not acting, I enjoy editing videos, writing things I’ll never finish, embroidering old clothes, and eating ramen in front of the TV. I love being behind the camera just as much as being in front of it, and have worn many hats such as: Producer, Art Designer, AC, 2nd AC, and PA. I’m also a self proclaimed meme queen/vine encyclopedia (I quote vines on the daily).
